Wan Azizah, Taking the Reins from her Husband, Anwar Ibrahim (1999)

The Reluctant Reformer (1999): A look back at Wan Azizah, who became a real threat to Malaysia's then-Prime Minister Mahathir while her husband dodged allegations of sexual indiscretion and corruption.

Azizah is a political wife whose ordeal has a familiar ring to it. Like Hillary Clinton, she’s withstood the indignity of the most damaging sexual allegations against her husband, and emerged stronger. This wife and mother has been recruited as a leader for the biggest push for reform in Malaysia’s history. “I wouldn’t think I would be a politician, because my role was the wife, bringing in the tea and looking after the children.” Azizah has become hugely popular. Massive crowds gather at her speeches, and when she hints that she’ll stand in the forthcoming elections they applaud even louder. So is she going to be Prime Minister? No, says her daughter “she is just warming the seat.” Azizah’s political career will be over when Anwar returns. Malaysian society is after all fundamentally patriarchal. Azizah even declines to show us a photo of herself without her headscarf for fear of arousing controversy. But if a jailed Anwar wants revenge over his old boss at the ballot box, it’s Azizah, a reluctant but increasingly popular leader, who’ll have to win the votes.

[@fadhilzhafrifuad]

I remember vividly, the day DSAI was detained, it was everywhere in the TV and newspaper back in 1998. I was 15 years old that time. And that was the time I remember DSWAI how strong she was, calm and rich in smile. It is sad to see how he was taken away from his family then.... but today, DSAI is the 10th PM of Malaysia. May Malaysia growl again as tiger cub of Asia under his leadership.

[@natep6729]

Tiger cub. Not tiger. That title belongs to SG, HK, SK and ROC

Let's share out this documentary especially to our younger gen. Malaysian. They need to understand what is "Reformasi", why PKR was formed and why DSAI deserve to be our Malaysian Prime Minister that we should be proud of.

[@jupiter-cakrawala-jiwa]

🇦🇺 TQ ABC AUSTRALIA FROM MALAYSIA 🇲🇾 It's almost 25 years since then-Malaysian prime minister Mahathir Mohamad sacked his deputy Anwar Ibrahim and charged Anwar with sodomy and corruption in 1998. The South-East Asian democracy's 15th General Election last month resulted in a hung parliament - with Anwar Ibrahim's coalition winning around 37 per cent of seats in parliament. After weeks of wrangling, the Malaysian king appointed him prime minister, the culmination of a long road to power.

[@mohdfadzel1472]

Anwar is the PM now. Installed as PM10 three days ago. Mahathir lost his deposit standing as GTA candidate in Langkawi. I wish Anwar well. For Mahathir I wish him hell!

Betul tu. Sebesar² jasa dia dlm negara besar juga kerosakkan yg dia telah lakukan kat negara kita ni. PTI kat Sabah, beri IC palsu kat PTI utk memperkukuhkan kedudulan parti BN kat Sabah, memperkenalkan dasar penswastaan dimana pd zaman beliau tetiba muncul ramai jutawan dlm parti BN. Makanan dan minuman smja ada kartel/kroni masing². Petani dan penternak makin miskin, penduduk sabah makin miskin sbb bersaing dgn pti dlm perniagaan, ekonomi turun sbb pti membawa tukaran wang asing bebilion ringgit ke luar negara asal mereka.
